must have read most of the threads on H&R and SIEMENS,, noticed that most of the threads could be out of date, so any upto date info would be much appreciated.

H&R is still the same in Alberta, load of newbies just returned from whence they came.. skint and wiser!

what seems to be the problem with drivers not staying long at H&R ?.. ive got a few friends who were working for them , but have since got pr and moved on to other jobs which suit there family life...lots of positive vibes with only one pal heading home after 3 months with storys of doom and gloom...

No probs mate, try your plan B.

hi sorry this is a bit late but my hubby went through the the process with kindersley transport which is part of siemens. i can emphatically say that he was treated like sh*t and i would say keep well away from the whole siemens group. we have our residency now but no thanks to them and after what my hub had to put up with i have been heard to say it wasnt worth it. i dont know about whether the others are currently recruiting. kelsey trail are in the program and they have just been advertising for 12 drivers stating (obviously) that canadians/ landed residents will be given first dibs

westcan are supposed to look after their drivers and also the families and assist with allsorts but dont know if they're currently recruiting

yanke transport are on the program dont know if they are recruiting and you drive team with them

if you need to know more please pm

flat to the mat

Leave Yanke well alone...........for at least the next 60 days

have you tried another province pei and ns have long haul in their skilled worker category and mb and bc have it in their semi skilled pnp.

fergie171

.... i would go anywhere as long as i got a job...my problem is that ive already booked a holiday to alberta for 2 weeks and i fly out on the 8th aug...im going crazy sorting out and tweeking my resume to maybe help get me some interviews...ns and pei would be great but im a bit far away to drive over there for interviews

We actually first heard about the long haul immigration thing from a seminar held in Leeds by a guy from big freight. Their head office is in steinbach mb but they do have terminals in ab. Not heard much about them as they didn't have a terminal in our province until very recently. How about bc? The drive over there is great and u only hit traffic at rush hour round chilliwack going into Vancouver

fergie171

.... ive filled in applications for big freight and biggar tpt...ive even sent one off to H&R too..westcan said im too old bison have no LMOs and mattjen want applications faxed through, darcol sound a good company who i would like to work for but i think gremmie would block me so that rules that one out..im looking at companies in ab,bc and sk at the moment...trying to get my finger into as many pies as possible....feeling very disillusioned at the moment...but im gonna soldier on as i want canada real bad

I've been a bit negative about H&R in the past, due to people I know having a hard time there, but I have spoken to quite a few H&R drivers recently and they all seem to like it there, there doesn't seem to be as much hanging around as there was, hich was the main bone of contention before, so worth a shot I reckon
